ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
The Rapsodia Malbec is perfumed with violets and ripe red fruits, accented by subtle vanilla and coconut. The palate is enveloping, yet elegant, with sweet tannins and a balance of ripeness and acidity. Intense violaceous red color. The nose features a delicate perfume of violets that fuses with aromas of ripe red fruits, such as plums and strawberries, which are followed by subtle notes of vanilla and coconut, typical of aging in French oak barrels. On the palate, it is enveloping and elegant, with sweet tannins and a balanced acidity that creates a long and lingering finish.
